Microsoft(r) Windows(r) 98 Field Guide

Rating:
Summary: Not that great but good for the price
Review: If you don't already know Outlook 98, don't try to learn it from this book. The information is presented alphabetically, and is thus unsuitable as an introduction. Experienced users won't need the information in this reference, so the question is, who was this written for? My best guess - users of Outlook 97 who want to see what's changed. I would be interested if anyone out there can recommend an Outlook 98 book for sophisticated programmers.

Summary: A Nice Quick Reference Guide Especially For Support Folks
Review: Outlook 98 is a deceptively complex and vast application. While on the surface its GUI and Wizard interface make it appear simple to use and support, anyone who users more than just the cursory features quickly learns that the beast as a maddening number of features and options. The Outlook 98 Field Guide does a good job (much better than the silly online help) as a quick reference guide to help walk you through something new or when you have forgotten some obscure operation. This is not a beginners guide, nor is it an advanced users "Tips and Tricks" book. It is just something nice to have around, especially if you find yourself having to answer Outlook 98 questions from your friends, colleagues, or clients.
